I found a brilliant post by Carol and Livia (s/v Estrellita 5.10b) that introduced me to their fun-to-suck ratio. I wish I had thought of it as it is magnificent! Since I have added it to my knowledge base, I find it much easier to figure out whether or not I am enjoying a particular activity… [Read More]
What’s wrong with the world
The story goes that G.K. Chesterton was invited to write an article on “What’s Wrong with the World?” His response was: Dear Sirs, I am. Sincerely yours, G. K. Chesterton Makes me stop and think….
Abandonment
I found the following information about abandonment in my reading. It was enlightening and helpful to me, I won’t bore you with why. The Five Stages of Abandonment are: Shattering: Severing of love-connection, devastation, shattering of hopes and dreams.

Occasionally I would like to print portions of a web page but certainly NOT the whole thing (header, menu, navigation columns, etc…).

Since that time, this client has had a number of different organizations involved in his… [Read More]

Compassion – what an easy concept, what a difficult thing to practice. I read a book a short while ago that discussed the concept of seemingly repeating coincidences turning out to have deep meaning and/or importance. These coincidences can be anything from thoughts, to words, to subjects we here in discussions/speeches, to things we see… [Read More]
